Coffee and small children - do they mix?

Yes if you choose the right cafe. Without doubt the best place for a weekday coffee and catch up, where little ones can amuse themselves with lego and colouring and not get 'tutted' at is good old Wesley's, adjacent to the Methodist Church on the high street. Full marks to them for embracing young families, supplying baby changing facilities, providing a buggy parking area, 2 ground floor toilets, fairtrade drinks, covered beakers, little cakes etc. I am a regular on the Wesley's scene, I know I can go there most mornings and either bump into a friend or chat to the person in the seat next to me. Other cafe's take note, this is how you retain your customers, small or large!
